* [[Art Evolution]]: See it for yourself: compare [http://www.metal-archives.com/images/7/3/73.jpg this] and [http://www.metal-archives.com/images/7/4/74.jpg this] to [http://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/0/5/3/105366.jpg this] and [http://www.metal-archives.com/images/1/2/3/8/123857.JPG this]{{Dead link}}.<ref>I shouldn't have to say this, but NO "THIS TROPER" EDITS, PLZ!!!</ref>
** Or, if you consider the fact that the first two are one artist, the latter two another: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131018010946/http://derek.server311.com/riggsart/Pages/maiden.dir/13something08.html recent one] from the first artist, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20160118094655/http://www.maiden-world.com/live/images/2/2e/Fear_of_the_dark_cover.jpg the first] from the other.

Line 56:
=== Adrian Smith - Guitar ===
[[File:adriansmith_8019.jpg|
{{quote|One of Maiden's main composers, Adrian joined the band in 1981, coming from Urchin. He was responsible for many of Maiden's biggest hits, and the band took a big hit in 1990 with his departure. He then had some [[Hard Rock]] projects (A.S.A.P., Psycho Motel) and played with Bruce Dickinson in two of his solo albums (''Accident Of Birth'' and ''The Chemical Wedding'') before coming back to Maiden in 1999, along with Bruce.}}
Line 67:
=== Janick Gers - Guitar ===
[[File:janickgers_6299.jpg|
{{quote|He started in [[The Eighties]] playing in a band called White Spirit. Then, he played with several musicians such as [[Marillion|Fish]], [[Deep Purple|Ian Gillan]] and groups and projects such as Gogmagog (where he played with Clive Burr and Paul Di'Anno, former members of [[Iron Maiden]]) and Bruce Dickinson's first solo album. It was in fact thanks to Bruce that he was hired for [[Iron Maiden]], as replacement for the then exiting Adrian Smith. He never left the band since then, even when Adrian Smith came back in 1999.}}
Line 77:
=== Dave Murray - Guitar ===
[[File:davemurray_450.jpg|
{{quote|The only member of the band, along with Steve Harris, which played in every album [[Iron Maiden]] recorded.}}
Line 86:
=== Steve Harris - Bass ===
[[File:steveharris_2662.jpg|
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: ''The X Factor''was an album [[Darker and Edgier]] than even ''Fear of the Dark''. A lot of it comes from Steve Harris's divorce and his dad passing away. "Blood Brothers", from ''Brave New World'' is said to be about said death.
Line 96:
* [[Record Producer]]: After Martin Birch's retirement, he took part of the producing duties since ''The X Factor''.
* [[Step Up to the Microphone]]: Immediately before Maiden's second ever gig, Paul Di'Anno was arrested outside the club they were due to perform in for carrying a concealed switchblade. Ron Smallwood, their prospective manager, ended up ordering Steve to sing on the basis that he was the only one who knew all of the lyrics.
* [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter]]: Steve Harris looks ok, but not spectacular. He is, however, the father of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5veTilZgC-4/SDpg6Bbs0II/AAAAAAAAAQ8/c_p4rAnGLEk/s400/Lauren+Harris2.jpg Lauren Harris] (her sisters [https://web.archive.org/web/20191029212722/http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4140/4816167357_36c6a0e7ab.jpg Faye] and [http://webarchive.org/imagens-n/temp01/kerryharris_01.jpg Kerry]{{Dead link}} also qualify).

[[File:nickomcbrain_2335.jpg|
* [[All Drummers Are Animals]]: He even kicks the bass drum instead of using a double bass pedal!
Line 115:
=== Dennis Stratton - Guitar ===
[[File:dennisstratton_7013.jpg|
* [[Creative Differences]]: He left the band because, according to Steve Harris in the DVD ''The Early Days'', he was composing stuff which wasn't fit for what Maiden was.
Line 122:
=== Paul Andrews (Paul Di'Anno) - Vocals ===
[[File:pauldianno_6313.jpg|

[[File:blazebayley_4140.jpg|
* [[The Lancer]]: Before and after Dickinson.
Line 143:
* [[Start My Own]]: He went solo when he left the band. Many Metal fans consider it way better than his Maiden years.
